REALTUs j. BROWN.
In the death of Realtus j. Brown our
town has lost man who had its interests
at heart in all his official transactions.
Elected at our March meeting as First
Selectman by large vote, he had Just
entered upon his third year as one of the
board He has given the town fortv-two
days work as Lister. Has been Justice
of the Peace a number of years. and in
fact filled nearly, if not all, the offices in
the gift of the people, and we can give no
better idea of his popularity than to say
when he consented to allow his name to
be used for any place, the vote for him
was no uncertain One-almOSt invariably
being quite unanimous. In the fall of
1884 he was elected Town Representative,
and we are Informed by one of his room
mates at that session that he was looked
upon as a man of sound Judgment, and
his career at the Capitol was no disgrace
to our town. To say he had no faults
would be untrue; but the faults he tried
to remedy. We are sure we speak for all
Ills associates when we say he is sincere
ly mouIned, and will be Used by many
of the households in toy IN Was help
needed, he was ready x do his share;
when he felt it his duty 70 act. He gave
many favors, but asked them of few.
During his last sickness he found home
ceived all the care and attention that
could be bestowed. He was Il member
of the Masonic fraternity and would have
been given Masonic burial had roads
and weather permitted. Cut off in the
vigor of manhood, honored by his towns
people as but few of his aye are, and yet
with many bright prospects before him,
his death is the cause of much regret.
Realtus j. Brown will live in the memory
of his townsmen as man and a brother.
